Ipswich Town 2 - 0 Chelsea Liam Delap's standout performance inspired Ipswich Town to their first home victory of the season, dealing a blow to Chelsea’s dwindling Premier League title ambitions.

[image or embed] — European Super Football ( @superfootball.bsky.social ) 31 December 2024 at 15:10 The 21-year-old striker opened the scoring in the 12th minute, confidently converting a penalty he earned after VAR determined goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen had made sufficient contact as Delap weaved past him. Just eight minutes into the second half, Delap turned provider, seizing on Axel Disasi's wayward back pass to set up ex-Chelsea winger Omari Hutchinson for Ipswich's second goal. Despite dominating possession, Chelsea were wasteful in front of goal, with Joao Felix’s would-be first-half equaliser ruled out by VAR after a lengthy offside check. I...

Ipswich Town 1 - 2 Wolves Wolves moved a step closer to securing their Premier League status with a hard-fought 2-1 comeback win over Ipswich Town at Portman Road, leaving the hosts in serious danger of relegation to the Championship. Author - Marcus  Stadium - Portman Road Second-half goals from Jørgen Strand Larsen and Pablo Sarabia overturned Liam Delap’s early opener, deepening the troubles for Kieran McKenna’s side . Ipswich remain third from bottom and now sit 12 points from safety with just seven matches left to play. Victory for Wolves, who have now won three league games in a row, means they are almost certain to avoid the drop with 21 points still available. Ipswich made a promising start and went ahead after 16 minutes. Liam Delap scored his 12th goal of the season , reacting quickly to finish from Dara O'Shea’s knockdown inside the box. The goal gave Ipswich early momentum, but their composure soon faded. Goalkeeper Alex Palmer nearly handed Wolves a gift when he mi...

Aston Villa 1 - 1 Ipswich Town Ipswich Town produced a gutsy performance to claim a valuable Premier League point at Villa Park, despite playing almost an hour with 10 men. Author - Marcus Stadium - Villa Park The match had been uneventful until Axel Tuanzebe, facing his former club, brought down Jacob Ramsey on the edge of the area, picking up a second yellow card and leaving Ipswich with an uphill task. Up to that point, the visitors had defended resolutely, and they continued to frustrate Villa even with a numerical disadvantage. Against the run of play, Ipswich took a shock lead when Liam Delap beat Axel Disasi to Omari Hutchinson’s low cross, steering the ball into the far corner to silence the home crowd. As frustration grew among the Villa supporters, Ollie Watkins eventually levelled, reacting quickest after Marcus Rashford’s thunderous free-kick crashed against the crossbar. Villa pushed hard for a winner, with Marco Asensio missing a golden chance before forcing Alex Palm...

Ipswich 2 - 4 Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest strengthened their grip on the Premier League’s top four with a commanding victory over relegation-threatened Ipswich at Portman Road. Author - Marcus Stadium - Portman Road The result had moved Forest to within a point of second-placed Arsenal (before their win over Chelsea) and edges them ever closer to securing Champions League football next season. On the day Nuno Espírito Santo marked his 50th Premier League game in charge, his side ruthlessly exposed Ipswich’s defensive vulnerabilities in a devastating seven-minute spell during the first half. Nikola Milenković set Forest on their way, capitalising on a fortunate deflection to fire home from eight yards after Ipswich forward Liam Delap had inadvertently nodded the ball into his path. Barely two minutes later, the visitors doubled their lead as Ipswich crumbled. Elliot Anderson released Anthony Elanga down the right, and the Swedish winger was inexplicably allowed to charge un...

Ipswich Town 0 - 1 Crystal Palace Jean-Philippe Mateta delivered a touch of class to seal Crystal Palace’s first Premier League away win of the season, edging past Ipswich Town 1-0 at Portman Road. Author - Marcus With both teams starting level on nine points near the foot of the table, the match promised to be a closely contested affair. However, it was the Eagles who conjured up the decisive moment of brilliance in the 59th minute. Mateta’s goal was a showcase of individual quality. The Palace forward initiated the move with a clever flick-on in his own half before embarking on a determined run. Skipping past Ipswich defender Jacob Greaves, Mateta coolly chipped the ball over Arijanet Muric to put his side ahead. Ipswich Town: Back in the big league Premier League: 2024/2025 season The first half had been largely uninspiring, with few clear chances for either side. Palace's standout moment provided a spark in what had been a scrappy encounter. Mateta nearly doubled the l...

Ipswich Town 1 - 1 Manchester United Manchester United had to settle for a point at Ipswich in Ruben Amorim's first game in charge, despite striker Marcus Rashford providing an excellent start with an opener just 81 seconds into the match. Author - Olivia T Omari Hutchinson equalized for Ipswich before halftime, while United goalkeeper Andre Onana made two stunning saves to deny Liam Delap.  The outcome was disappointing for Amorim, as his team struggled to contain Ipswich at times and often faced a resolute home defense, which thwarted potential scoring opportunities.  Captain Bruno Fernandes narrowly missed with a late free-kick, but Ipswich fully deserved their point, and without Onana's brilliance, they likely would have scored more goals. Amorim's ambitious choice to start wing-back Amad Diallo paid off when he delivered the low cross that Rashford converted, marking the striker's fifth goal of the season. This was also Rashford's first goal in the Premier ...

Hull City 3 - 3 Ipswich Town After falling behind three times, Hull City fought back three times to draw 3-3 with Championship promotion-chasers Ipswich thanks to a late goal by substitute Noah Ohio. In their quest for automatic promotion, two stunning Omari Hutchinson goals seemed to have sealed all three points for the Tractor Boys. Ipswich started strong with George Hirst scoring the opening goal but their lead was short-lived as Ozan Tufan equalized. Hutchinson then scored a stunning goal with an unstoppable curling shot just before half-time, putting Ipswich ahead again. Who's getting promoted to the Premier League? (eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com) QPR thrash Leeds United (eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com) In the second half, Liam Delap, who came on as a substitute, scored to level the score once more. Hutchinson then proved his worth again with another goal, this time with a swerving effort.  However, in the 86th minute, Ohio took advantage of a mistake by Ipswich goalkeepe...
